Three Stories and a Couple of Smiles from Political Pollution

A) Over the past 6 years, the Trump Foundation has raised just $75,000 for veterans.

B) During a snit with the media, Trump skipped a debate to hold a fundraiser for vets where he said he raised $6 million.

C) The Wall Street Journal reports that 19 of the 22 veterans organizations on Trump's list of recipients have received a grand total of $2.4 million.

"As PoliticusUSA first reported in January 2016, the first clue that something wasn't right with the Trump vets fundraiser was that although Trump claimed that 100% of the money raised was going diretly to veterans groups, the money was actually going into Trump's foundation."

Now that they're finally behind bars, suddenly the Bundys are victims. Yeah, someone held ol' Cliven down and wouldn't let him mail those grazing rights checks for 26 years. Poor ol' Cliven, and his poor sons who thought they'd got some of that free American land for themselves. Kinda makes you want to weep for the injustice of it all, doesn't it?
